Sharing lean lessons learned

摘要

This is a good time to expand on the lesson learned from the custom shop that I referenced a couple of issues earlier. You might recall the introduction to the eight-person custom shop where the staff decided to organize their workplace to eliminate clutter and create flow. I described how prior to the event the eight employees operated as individual islands of activity in various locations in the shop. Jobs always had to be moved several feet between processes and tool sharing/borrowing was general practice.
